For those interested in the new coalition and what to think of it, a short piece from Den about it. In another piece, the president criticizes the coalition and how it was formed. Nothing new in this piece, his determination for new elections haven't changed or his dislike of his prime minister. While a new coalition is in place, how long will it last when one faction is divided like OU-PSD? Not sure what sort of penalties the president has in mind for the MPs that supported the coalition, considering how divided the party is right now, he may not have the power to punish them.
He called the “backdoor methods” used to forge the current coalition unacceptable and im moral. “The coalition is effective if it has 226 votes. In the third millennium I would not advise anyone to turn for help to the Communist ideology — this is political disgrace. This is a relapse into the condition from which we have been escaping for so many years.
“Why can’t we enter the coalition headed by Yulia Tymoshenko? This is the decision of the party and it says: we are not enemies, but we cannot agree with the line pursued by the prime minister,” said the president. He added that the forthcoming II Congress of Our Ukraine next week will consider expelling party members who “supported the coalition contrary to the decision of the congress.”
Even today the president believes that there is no coalition in the Verkhovna Rada. What is happening is, in his words, “the boisterous activity that recently erupted in parliament for the single purpose of preserving the seats.” Yushchenko placed the recent coalition next to what happened during the previous convocation when Oleksandr Moroz betrayed his political allies in order to form the ruling coalition in parliament.
